Along the way, Baili Xia’s mood was gloomy, which Bei Tianyou had already noticed.

After getting into the car, Baili Xia kept looking out the window.

Bei Tianyou sat beside her and could feel her sorrow.

She’s been like this ever since they got off the ship.

No, more precisely, it started when he woke up from his nap.

“What’s wrong?”

Bei Tianyou’s gentle voice brought Baili Xia’s thoughts back.

She glanced sideways at Bei Tianyou and then continued to look out the window, “Nothing.”

Although she said ‘nothing,’ anyone could hear the desolation in her voice.

“Why is your relationship with Mu Xiaojiu so tense?” This girl seemed so lonely at the moment, Bei Tianyou’s voice unconsciously softened.

Today, he felt somewhat apologetic towards Mr.

Xiaojiu, as his own health issues required Mu Xiaojiu to wait until he finished his nap to discuss business.

It was rare for Mu Xiaojiu to be so patient, perhaps the reason was more because Baili Xia was also on the island.

Baili Xia just looked out the window, not responding.

She heard Bei Tianyou’s words but really didn’t know how to answer.

Why exactly were things like this with Uncle?

Conflicts arising unconsciously over trivial matters.

Are some people destined to endlessly argue when together?

When their arguments finally ceased, it concluded with a long kiss.

The most daunting fact was though she resisted, she ended up losing herself in that kiss.

She even agreed to accompany him on Saturday for his birthday…

Like a child, he still wants someone with him for his birthday!

“Did you two just have a fight?” A thought flashed through his mind, Bei Tianyou asked, “Are you two… in that kind of relationship?”

Even though he had no personal experience, he’d seen enough relationships, and their bickering didn’t resemble a young couple?

Last time, Mu Xiaojiu came alone to seek his help for this girl, he already suspected something then.

However, the Mu family was one of the Eight Big Families in Jin City, given their status, the road ahead might be difficult.

He wasn’t someone meddling in others’ affairs, let bygones be bygones.

Had he not witnessed their unusual undercurrents today, he likely would have forgotten about it.

“What kind of relationship?” Baili Xia was taken aback.

Suddenly realizing, she hastily waved her hand.

“No, no, Brother You, don’t say such things, how could I be in that kind of relationship with Uncle, he is my uncle.”

Baili Xia tried hard to hide her panic, her face turning bright red.

“I was just speaking casually, no need to be so nervous.”

Something flickered in Bei Tianyou’s gaze as he gently patted Baili Xia’s shoulder, ceasing further inquiry.

Seeing Bei Tianyou look away, gazing out the window on the other side, Baili Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

Yet she felt uncertain internally, had Bei Tianyou really noticed something?

But, was her reaction too…

nervous?

Did he really see through it?

Returning to the Bei Family, the car drove directly to the entrance of Bi Luo Pavilion.

Bei Tianyou and Baili Xia got out of the car, heading towards the hall.

Upon entering the hall, one of Bei Tianyou’s men hurriedly ran inside.

“Young master, Qin Yu is injured.”

“What’s going on?” Bei Tianyou slightly furrowed his brow, asking calmly.

“During training, the rope snapped, and he fell off the mountain.”

After a pause, the man raised his head, seeming to observe Bei Tianyou’s expression.

Finally, he continued speaking.

“He has multiple fractures, very… severe.”
